Application filed May 4, 1887. Serial No. 2311602,. (No model.) Patented in Belgium March 1,1887, No.76,533; in England March 1, 1887, No. 3,176; inFrance March 1, 1887, No. 181,899; in Spain March 15, 1887, No. 10,708, and in Austria-Hungary July 6, 1887, No. 14,150 and No. 11,716.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ERNST MARTIN HUGO LONITZ, a subject of the King of Prussia, Germany, residing at the city of Neuhaldensleben, in the Kingdom of Prussia, Germany, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Boxes for the Packing of Money, (for which I have obtained Letters Patent in Belgium,

No. 76,533, dated March 1, 1887; in Great Britain, No. 3,176, dated March 1, 1887 in France, No. 181,899, March 1, "1887 in AustriaHungary, No. 14,150 and No. 11,716, dated July 6, 1887; and in Spain, No. 10, 708, dated March 15, 1887,) of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is abox or tube adapted to receive and hold a certain number of coins of one denomination. For this purpose the tubes have different diameters, according to the size of the coin to be packed, and different height or length, according to the thickness of the respective coin. For instance, tubes for five-dollar pieces may have such a size as to contain exactly twenty fivedollar pieces, equaling one hundred dollars; If, therefore,five-dol1ar pieces are to be packed, these tubes have only to be filled therewith, and it is known without counting the pieces that the tube contains one hundred dollars. Time is saved thereby in counting, and the troublesome rolling up in paper and-the sealing of the rolls is dispensed with.

Referring to the accompany drawings, Fig- I ure 1 shows the interior shell of the box filled with coins; Fig. 2, a section of the cover of the said box; Fig. 3, an end view of the interior shell; Fig. 4, the box closed and fastened;

.Fig. 5, an adhesive capsule for the fastening of the said box.

B is the hollow cylindrical cover, which is open in frontand closed at one end by the plate b. This cylinder is shifted as a cover over the semi-cylinder A when filled. with coin and holds the coin securely packed.

To take out the coins, the semi-cylinder A is pulled out of B, and the money may then be removed from the semi-cylinder A. While drawing out the part'A the tube B should be held in such a position that the semi-cylinder Alies below and so supports the coins. In order that the position of thepart A may be recognizable when the box is closed, the tube y B may be provided with a little hole, I), through which the coin w or the semi-cylinder A can be recognized.

.For the purpose of closing the tube for conveyance I preferably employan adhesive capsule, 0, having a serrated or indented rim, Fig. .5. This capsule is pasted over the end a of the semi-cylinder A and its overstanding indented rim fastened down onto the tube B, as shown in Fig. 4.

These coin-tubes may be provided with an inscription or mark showing the number of coins they are to contain and the nature of the same.

To prevent the tubes from rolling either du'rhole or slit in the outer tube or in addition thereto, the relative p'ositionof the semi-cylinder A when the tube is closed.

What I claim is of the cylindrical cover B, having the closed end b,with a semi-cylinder, A, adapted'to slide 1. In coin-packing boxes, the combination into said cover, and having an end plate, a*, v

and a circular end plate, a, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination of the cylindrical cover B, having the closed end I), with a semi-cylinder, A, having an inner end plate, a, and an outer circular end plate, a, of larger diameter than the cylindrical cover, substantially as set forth.

5 3. The combination of the cylindrical cover '13, having the closed end b, with the semicylinder A, having an inner end plate, a, and an outer end plate, a, adapted to project beyond the cylindrical cover, said end plate a 1'0 having a straight face or edge, 3 z, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

4. The combination of a cylindrical cover, B, having the head I), with a semi-cylinder, A, having heads adapted to slide therein, there :5 being a hole in said cover through which the said semi-cylinder or the contents thereof can be viewed, substantially as set forth.

5. The combination, with a semi-cylinder, A, having the circular end a, and a cylindrical cover, B, adapted to slide onto said 20 ERNST MARTIN HUGO LONITZ.
